Radon Mitigation in Denver, CO
Colorado's health department reports that about half of Colorado homes have radon above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L [3]. If your test came back high, or you've never tested, we'll connect you with a state-licensed Denver radon mitigation professional for a free estimate.
Why radon matters in Denver
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that forms as uranium in soil and rock breaks down, then moves up into buildings [2]. EPA identifies radon as the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and estimates it causes about 21,000 U.S. lung cancer deaths each year [1]. Denver County is in EPA Radon Zone 1, the highest-potential zone [4], but CDPHE stresses that levels vary home to home, so the only way to know is to test [2][3].

Colorado requires anyone paid to measure or mitigate radon to hold a state radon professional license (HB21-1195, mandatory since July 1, 2022) [6][7]. Always verify a license on DORA's lookup before hiring.
